Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 214 New Sponsor: The highest price for sneaker endorsement fees in history!

Next to the babbling creek on the west side of Hale.

"Did you really dye your hair brown?"

Chu Feng asked curiously.

"Actually, I don't really like blonde, and my original hair color is brown."

Maria said with a smile.

Chu Feng looked at it carefully with the bright moonlight and nodded seriously: "Indeed, the brown color is beautiful! By the way, I will show you my new house and bring you some gifts by the way."

When Maria heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, fresh and natural.

Half an hour later, in front of Guardiola's house.

"Here are the panda dolls for the little ones, and here are the blue and white porcelain tea sets and tea leaves for the aunt, and..."

The next thing worth mentioning is Chelsea's coaching change. Conte lost to Mourinho twice last season and is now out of work.

Guardiola next to him took a sip of coffee and felt very bitter from body to soul.

Then she glared at Guardiola to see how good he was at talking.

Christina entertained her warmly and invited Chu Feng to attend the family dinner tomorrow, but Chu Feng politely refused because he needed to live in the city to participate in training.

Maria nodded seriously. Chu Feng should really dress up and not always go out in training clothes.

He showed strong suppression when playing against a weak team and directly defeated Huddersfield 3-0.

Chu Feng follows goodness and flows like a stream.

Liverpool also won the game overwhelmingly. Mane scored twice, Salah and Sturridge each scored one goal, leaving West Ham United unable to fight back.

This has restored the confidence of many Chelsea fans, who firmly believe that they can definitely regain their place this season and allow Mourinho to see how powerful the Blues are.

As for Valentina, her eyes were shining.

As for the official MVP, it was given to Manchester United's Chu Feng, mostly because his two goals were more enjoyable to watch.

"There is no need to question Maria's vision. After all, she has an excellent teacher."

It's enough to have a love brain at home, but don't let Wang Feng or Li Feng appear to harm your girl.

If we sum up the first round of the Premier League, it is the transitional adjustment period after the World Cup. Every team needs more running-in and growth.

The first round of the 2018-19 season has ended. Manchester United won 3-1 against Leicester City. However, after all, Manchester United spent more than million euros on signings, and there were so many problems in the game, which made many Commentators are beginning to doubt Manchester United's ability to compete for the title this season.

At that time, Mourinho will need to use different center back combinations, and the mobility requirements for the defensive midfielder will increase significantly.

Neither Matic nor Pogba is satisfied. As for Wheat, the worst thing about him is his mobility. Only Herrera from Spain can barely qualify.

It seems to be able to treat insomnia, hair loss, and poor skin.
Guardiola once again touched his shiny head, and then made the sound of grinding teeth! ——
The next day.

Nothing good will happen every time you meet this brat!
After Chu Feng left the villa, Guardiola opened the gift and found a box of red wolfberry. Wolfberry has been very popular on Instagram recently, and Guardiola has also seen its effects.

The newly appointed Italian coach Maurizio Sarri emphasized high-pressure and midfield passing and control. He also attached great importance to wing attacks and required full-backs to boldly press forward and participate in the attack.

In fact, his defensive style is indeed too reckless.

When leaving, Christina said with a smile: "Maria majored in fashion design at university. If you have time, let her help you change your outfit. It is better for young people to be more fashionable."

Looking at the things Chu Feng carried in large and small bags, Guardiola had no choice but to let Chu Feng in no matter how unwilling he was.

Manchester United was in the middle of a team match. Chu Feng held the ball on the wing and faced off with Wan-Bissaka. The latter's dark forehead was covered with sweat, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to shovel.

If Newcastle United hadn't hit the goalpost and doorframe continuously, Tottenham would have suffered their first defeat of the new season.

Cristina's smile was even more satisfying because she used to be a fashion designer and opened a clothing store in Barcelona.

Guardiola touched his head in confusion, why did he suffer another unreasonable disaster?

Although he is also very handsome.

Fans from various clubs took to social media to comment.

As for Tottenham, they did not change their coach in the end. Since Tottenham was building a stadium imitating Arsenal, Pochettino did not have much money to sign players in the summer window. The performance in the first game was a mystery.

Some extreme Arsenal fans have stood up and jumped on the matter. Isn't it the same whether Wenger leaves or not?
In fact, they just enjoy the pleasure of creating conflicts. Whether they really have Arsenal in mind, I am afraid only they themselves have the answer.

From the footage given during the game, Guardiola was clearly angry.

Especially for the midfielder position, the combination of Maguire and Bailly has no problems for the time being, but Bailly's glass body is well known throughout Europe, and it is estimated that he will be injured soon.

Marius wished he could grow up immediately, turn the tide like Chu Feng, and save the team in times of crisis!

Chu Feng said a lot of things vividly, which made the two little guys unable to help but be fascinated.

Pochettino watched in horror.

Since the Premier League started earliest among the five major leagues, it has also received the most attention.

Then Marius and Valentina pestered Chu Feng to ask about the details of the Champions League final.

Since the two met when they were 18 years old, Guardiola has never said anything about love. Every day is either football or football, so he might as well live with football.

Carrington training base at this time.

So the wind of winning the championship once again blew towards Manchester City. They defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the first round of the league. They maintained decisive suppression throughout the game and kicked Emery into a beauty.

Mourinho must use this method to get rid of Wan-Bissaka's bad habits, otherwise fatal mistakes will easily occur in the game.

Continuously swaying away, Chu Feng hit the middle in a hidden way, then used his explosive power to rush inside, and hit the wall with Rashford.

Unfortunately, the final shot was too straight and was saved by De Gea.

"Chu, the intersection between you and Rashford is too stiff. It should be completed during the counterattack, rather than completing the change of positions in a static way!"

Faria shouted.

Chu Feng responded and silently remembered it in his heart.

After the match ended, Chu Feng did not leave with his teammates, but went to Romero to train on long shots.

As for why it's not De Gea, it's because this guy ran away a long time ago!

Faria also set up a high-speed camera nearby. They will analyze Chu Feng's force exertion method on the software and then make the most scientific adjustments.

These are benefits that previous stars could not enjoy, so it is easier for modern players to improve and grow.

But it also makes the players look like they are manufactured on the same assembly line.

Wan-Bissaka, Maguire and Mahrez, who were packing their things to leave, stopped, looked at each other and then looked at McTominay.

The latter spread his hands helplessly: "Chu's nickname here is 'Training Madman'. Don't even think about competing with him. Just complete the training arranged by the coach."

He then changed his shoes and hit the track, jogging to relax after training.

His mobility is indeed not strong, so he has to try his best to make up for it, taking one step for others and two steps for himself!

McTominay very much recognized what Chu Feng said.

"When you use self-discipline to unleash all your talents, football will give you everything beyond your dreams!"

Maguire took a deep look at McTominay's back, silently put down the equipment he had packed, and joined the team practicing on the green field.

This makes the assistant coaches extremely tired.

Not everyone has Chu Feng’s terrifying physical fitness, and it’s easy to copycats and imitate tigers, which can be counterproductive. They can only follow the players to monitor data, and the defensive players train too intensively.

Mourinho, who had just finished reviewing the game, stood on the sidelines, rubbed his sore temples, and showed a satisfied smile.

In the past, Manchester United had model self-disciplined players such as Neville, Scholes and Vidic to help and guide them, but now Manchester United does not have so many outstanding players, and the only one Ibrahimovic has left.

Fortunately, Chu Feng has followed the path of his predecessors and passed on his self-discipline and soul power to the next generation.

Data analyst Giovanni Serra said: "Boss, before the next round of games, Valencia, Matic and Lukaku are still unable to recover from injuries. Do we need to change the formation?"

"4-3-3 does have high demands on the midfielder. Will we meet Tottenham in the third round?" Mourinho nodded.

"Ah."

Giovanni already knew the schedule by heart.

Manchester United's schedule in September is very good. They will not meet the BIG9 teams in the Premier League. They will only have a Champions League group match and their opponents will need to be determined based on the draw results.

Then Manchester United will encounter Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool one after another.

"Change to 4-2-3-1, let Chu continue to play as a center forward, and Herrera and McTominay play as defensive midfielders."

Mourinho thought about it for a long time.

After all the training, Chu Feng walked into the coffee shop in the training base, where Mendes had been waiting for a long time.

"Recently, Adidas, Nike and Puma have all approached me and wanted to make you their main spokesperson."

"The specific situation is here. You should take a look first and then tell me what you think."

Mendes pushed over a folder.

In fact, the three giants of sports brands approached him last season, but due to the amount of sponsorship, the final plan has not been finalized.

But after the Champions League final, Chu Feng's popularity reached its limit, and then he showed his value through commercial activities.

The three giants suddenly changed from active parties to passive parties. After all, who doesn't want to occupy China's largest sales volume?

So they experienced the competitive pressure from Keke and Pepsi.

Chu Feng carefully browsed the detailed information of the three parties and found that since the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, the ranking of sponsors of the Champions League champions is as follows.

Adidas: 11 times Nike: 7 times

Umbro: 2 times

Calmy, Reebok, Backrest, and Lotto once each.

As for Puma, it was zero times.

This data can also reflect the market share occupied by major sports brands from the side.

In recent years, due to Real Madrid's strength in the Champions League, Adidas has achieved a high degree of brand recognition and demonstrated its influence in the football field.

Nike's brand exposure and topicality have also declined due to Barcelona's gradual decadence.

Not to mention Puma, the weakest of the Big Three.

In fact, football has always been their main business.

When it was founded in 1948, one of the first products produced by Puma included football shoes, and legendary players such as Maradona, Pele, and Cruyff were its spokespersons.

But with the emergence of competitors such as Adidas and Nike.

Puma's dominance in the football field did not last long, and the global brand's market share was gradually divided up, leaving little.

However, Puma has made up its mind to return to the market in a big way and regain the football share it is most proud of.

Among them, the spokesperson must be chosen appropriately.

Some time ago, Puma's global brand marketing director Patrick came to Mendes, hoping to discuss cooperation with Chu Feng in person, but it was during the Champions League finals.

"Jorge, which one do you recommend?" Chu Feng put down the folder.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Chu Feng understood this very well, so he decided to listen to Mendes' advice first.

Manchester United's current largest sponsor is Adidas. They signed a 10-year 9 million pound sponsorship contract with Manchester United, the largest sponsorship contract in the history of the Premier League.

And with Adidas' influence in the football field, it can provide you with the greatest help.

"but"

Mendes' turning point came soon. "Adidas' current main spokesperson is Messi. Although Barcelona's performance in recent years has not been ideal, Adidas still chooses to invest most of its resources in Messi."

"So if you want to go for international awards like the Ballon d'Or."

Mendes didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already clear. Adidas will definitely not give up on Messi, who has five Ballon d'Or awards.

The same goes for Nike.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to Juventus, once again strived for higher honors with the Champions League Golden Boot last season. Naturally, Nike will not give up on him.

Therefore, if Chu Feng chooses the above two brands, he can only choose to stay low and stay small until Messi and Ronaldo retire or leave the five major leagues.

"So let's talk about Puma."

Chu Feng made the decision lightly.

Mendes snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "I knew you would do this!"

Then he made a call, and not long after, he saw a middle-aged man walking towards Chu Feng. He stretched out his hand towards Chu Feng and introduced himself: "Patrick, Puma Global Marketing Director, nice to meet you!"

"Me too."

Chu Feng stood up and held Patrick's hand, showing the most basic respect.

Without much pleasantries, Patrick got straight to the point and said: "First of all, we have prepared an endorsement contract of 2300 million pounds per season for you. This is the highest price in the history of sneaker endorsement fees. Whether it is Adidas or Nike, it is impossible. Given the same contract, I have absolute confidence in this, because Messi is worth 1800 million pounds and Cristiano Ronaldo is worth 1500 million pounds, so they cannot give you a higher salary."

"But we can. Last year our sales increased by 15% year-on-year to 10.49 billion euros, with double-digit growth in all regions and product divisions."

"This year we have restarted our basketball and football business, and we need influential people to speak for us."

"."

Patrick talked for a full half hour before taking a sip of coffee with a dry mouth.

Chu Feng thought that Puma was also a big dog owner!
You must know that although his basic annual salary is only 1800 million pounds, and even then he can rank in the top three in the Premier League, this endorsement contract actually gives 2300 million pounds.

However, Chu Feng understands that there is no free lunch in the world, and based on the information he knows in the future, Puma seems to have provided Neymar with a contract, and the salary seems to be around 2300 million pounds.

In the blink of an eye, he regained his composure and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Patrick raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had learned about Chu Feng in detail before and knew that Chu Feng was born in an ordinary family and was very financially strapped during his youth training period.

It stands to reason that when you hear 2300 million pounds, you should be a little excited and excited, right?

So Patrick put aside the contempt in his heart and said seriously: "Sign a lifetime contract and cooperate with us in publicity."

"Of course, we will also do our best to market for you and increase your global visibility, which will have a great impact on the Golden Globe Awards."

"."

After talking for another fifteen minutes, Patrick was indeed the global marketing director, and he would probably be a leader even if he were thrown into a pyramid scheme.

Chu Feng still did not lose his mind, but looked at Mendes next to him.

The latter immediately understood: "A lifetime contract is impossible. Messi has a lifetime contract with Adidas. The most fundamental reason is that Messi has his own brand in Adidas, but this is not mentioned in your contract."

Patrick felt bitter in his heart when he heard this. He didn't expect Chu Feng to be so difficult to deal with, or that he was not as calm as a 19-year-old.

But once you start giving in, you can only keep giving in.

Puma does not have a more suitable candidate now. Patrick is well aware of Chu Feng's influence in China. As long as it can increase Puma's market share in China.

No matter how high the price is now, he believes there will be higher returns in the future.

The contract must not be signed in a coffee shop. The teams of both parties will carefully consider each clause to strive for the greatest benefits for themselves.

After Patrick left, Mendes said with emotion: "Chu, your performance just now was very good. It would be great if all my players were like you."

"Don't worry. In order to increase its influence, Puma must and can only promote you."

"Although you won't win the Golden Globe Award this year, I estimate that you can enter the top five. As long as you can maintain your current competitive status, I guarantee that you will stand on the Golden Globe Award podium within two years!"

"Because there will be more and more sponsors like Puma."

Since Ronaldo left Real Madrid to join Juventus, there has been a gap between Mendes and Ronaldo. Mendes does not want to put all his bets on Ronaldo.

So he had to introduce a new player as a front.

De Gea, Falcao, Di Maria, B Xi and others are obviously not qualified. He was in the same situation and could only choose Chu Feng.

Therefore, he will do his best to help Chu Feng win the Golden Globe Award.

After the Puma matter came to an end, the time soon came to August 8, and the second round of the Premier League had begun!
Manchester United players once again came to Brighton and Hove, this southern seaside city.

Brighton returned to the Premier League in the 2016-17 season, but their performance last season was quite satisfactory, ranking 15th in the standings and completing relegation.

American Express Community Stadium.

The game has reached the 40th minute, and the score on the LED card is 1-1, and the two sides are temporarily tied.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines. Brighton players were rough and unrestrained, engaging in frequent physical confrontations and fragmenting the rhythm of the game.

If it weren't for Manchester United's quick counterattack at the beginning, Rashford made a pass, Chu Feng headed the ball to the right, and Mahrez scored with a shovel.

I'm afraid it will be Manchester United that is lagging behind now!

Hughton next door frantically directed his players to attack Manchester United's hinterland, just to make McTominay exhausted and then expose Manchester United's defense.

Fortunately, Manchester United survived the last minute of the first half, and Mourinho changed the formation when he returned to the locker room.

From a double midfielder to a three-back midfielder, imitating Real Madrid's 4-3-1-2, the two centers of Rashford and Chu Feng focus on counterattacks.

The second half did achieve good results. Manchester United stabilized the backcourt defense with its numbers and frequently used long passes to counterattack.

The game went to the 79th minute.

David Luiz made a fierce interception and the football rolled towards Maguire, who was unmarked on the side.

Datou not only has excellent defensive skills, but his propulsion ability is also outstanding among central defenders, especially the pace that he can't recognize, and he can often complete breakthroughs by accident.

According to Guardiola's analysis, it is a special way of swinging the center of gravity.

Last season, he averaged 0.5 dribbles per game, which was more dazzling than some Brazilian wingers!

De Gea's heart trembled inexplicably when he saw this, as if he had foreseen some terrible consequences, and he immediately raised his attention to the highest level.

He moved the ball heavily to avoid Gross' steal, and then used his physical advantage to force a breakthrough.

Then he directly made a long pass!

The football spun violently and went straight behind the Brighton centre-back.

Dunk quickly retreated to prepare for a header to clear the ball, but suddenly he saw a figure passing by. If he looked carefully, it turned out to be Manchester United's No. 7!
He quickly raised his hand to indicate offside.

But the linesman could see clearly that Chu Feng was at least 1/4 of a position behind Duffy, the other central defender.

Chu Feng easily unloaded the ball in front of him. Facing Ma Xiuruan who abandoned the goal, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner to complete the goal!
1-2!

Even if Brighton finds Manchester United's goal, it is still difficult for them to win the game because Manchester United has the world's top explosive players!

At the end of the game, the score did not change.

In the post-match interview, Mourinho admitted that Manchester United has a problem with its midfielder and will make timely signings after the winter transfer window opens, and that Matic will recover and return next week.
